The book, Wildflower Watercolor by Sushma Hedge, is filled with beautiful watercolor wildflowers and the steps and techniques Sushma used to create them. I was sold when I saw the cover of the book! I couldn’t wait to start following her tips to paint the pretty wildflowers she shares. This book is one you will want to add to your watercolor technique library.
Flowers
Take A Look At My New Website!
In August 2020 I started reading online to my grandchildren, who live hundreds of miles away. A few years and over a thousand books later we are still reading together on FaceTime. I soon discovered there are other grandparents that want to read aloud to their grandchildren online and in person and don’t know where to start or what books to read.

Whimsical Watercolor Mushrooms
Painting colorful, whimsical, watercolor mushrooms is a great way to let your imagination go wild! I recently took an online watercolor class by Danielle Donaldson that introduced me to the idea of painting watercolor mushrooms. This was a new way for me to add some color and whimsy to acrylic paint that I splattered on a watercolor postcard.
Desert Cactus and Splattered Paint Flower Art
My inspiration to paint desert cactus and splattered paint flower art cards came from a recent trip to Arizona to visit our daughter and her family. The March weather was beautiful so we spent most of our time outdoors. Every where we went there were cactus and succulents. Some were starting to bloom. After spending the morning at the Desert Botanical Garden I couldn’t wait to get my paints out and try adding cactus to some splattered paint cards I brought with me.
Angel in Watercolor
A friend recently challenged me to paint an angel in watercolor. This was a bit out of my comfort zone. Painting flowers is what I usually do. Once I started painting my angel I couldn’t stop. So I don’t have any step by step photos for you, but I decided to still share a little of my process with you.

Splatter Painting At A Different Angle
Your splatter painting will take on a whole new look if you turn your paper and try splattering at a different angle. I think this direction looks best when you are working on a square background. I’ve used the same techniques shown in earlier posts. The brush and paints I use and a video showing how I splatter paint can be found here with some FAQ.
Watercolor Hearts and Roses
Watercolor hearts and roses can be combined to make a beautiful design. I have always loved to paint watercolor flower wreaths. They look especially pretty with roses as the focus flower. Roses aren’t hard to paint if you follow a few simple steps.
